NP. It's a common phrase. If it were not, then you'd have a possible connection there, but as they say that all over the place, it's unlikely. Now, if tomorrow they put something in an interview or something saying that is true, then it's a different story. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Opinion

The best I have seen so far, though the ending was quite awkward. - 82.37.217.206

  • I think so too.-Jhonka
  • I don't know if this is on the fun facts, but the Homestar Evolution is in the form of 4 pictures on the wall when homestar sees the cheat and strong bad. would this mean he is aware of his changes?
I guess so. Are you aware that you've changed from kindergarden to... however old you are? And please sign your posts coachsmith. — talk Bubsty edits 01:36, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

What'll You Have?

Might I ask why my comment on "What'll Ya Have," which is perfectly true and almost surely reflects the intentions of the Brothers Chaps, was removed so quickly? -Nathaniel

NP. It's a common phrase. If it were not, then you'd have a possible connection there, but as they say that all over the place, it's unlikely.

Paper

A reference is a reference

I was wondering if Homestar Runner's referring to Strong Bad The Cheat as Batman should be noted in the Real-World Reference section. Even if Batman is known by practically everyone, that doesn't make it any less of a real-world reference, does it? Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I think so. (If you search the old talk threads, you'll find our attitude on this has varied over the years.) — It's dot com 01:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I believe others will agree that it should be added per Talk:current status#McDonald's Part 2. Homestar-Winner (talk) 13:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Music is coming from where, now?

It says in the transcript that the music is coming from the Compy. From some looking around I can't find any credible evidence to support this statement. Does anyone care to rebut, or should it just be removed? Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 06:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

It should be removed. The music isn't from the Compy as Strong Bad never hit any shortcut/function keys on his Compy keyboard. — Ngamer01 14:55, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
